I know many on here have far better and more expensive camera's than this,
but this will be my first proper foray into the DSLR market and I'm looking for a bit of advice.
My dads got a 400D just now (main reason I got the 1000D to swap lenses),
and I've played about with it slightly, enjoyed it, believed to get some decent shots, and now I want my own!
So for my 21st parents have bought me a 1000D with the 18-55 (non IS ) kit lens.
Will the fact that this lens doesn't have image stabilisation become a big deal?
Or will it be something that I can compensate for?
I do plan on ditching the kit lens at some point, once my skill becomes greater,
something like the nifty fifty would be great along with a telephoto for landscapes.
I'd also like some advice on a study well priced tripod, please!
Anything else I should look out for would be much appreciated
Thanks
Also, I won't have a proper chance to play about with it on Saturday,
as we are having a people over and I plan on getting rather inebriated.
